Aizawl: Mizoram Chief Minister Zoramthanga on Tuesday directed the state police and urged the security forces to step up vigil along the inter-state and international borders to prevent any movement in view of the rising cases of coronavirus in neighbouring states and countries.
During a meeting with top officers of Assam Rifles, Border Security Forces (BSF), state police and those of the state government, Zoramthanga said stricter measures should be taken along the inter-state and international borders to prevent movement without permission, a statement said. He asked the security forces and state police to coordinate with village-level task forces and other local volunteers to protect the state borders.
He said stringent measures are essential to prevent movement through the borders as there is a surge in COVID-19 cases in neighbouring states and countries.
Any attempt to cross the border should be thwarted at any cost, he said. Mizoram shares inter-state boundaries with Assam, Manipur and Tripura, besides 722-km unfenced international borders with Bangladesh and Myanmar. Zoramthanga was briefed about the security measures taken by the Assam Rifles and the BSF along the borders with Myanmar and Bangladesh. (PTI)
